Happy Birthday, Blog ❤

It’s been exactly three years since I opened a new WordPress account, started a blog, and sent out my first post. Happy birthday, thoughtsofasemisanemind (old name but still gold). I remember the first post included the reason I chose that name.

Three years have passed since then, however, and it’s crazy how much has changed since then. I recently changed the blog name because it didn’t feel like me anymore. I’m happy I started this blog because for a long time, it gave me reasons to just keep writing.

I had to go on long breaks for many reasons, including the time I experienced the longest writer’s block of my life lol. It’s been a wonderful experience, and I know I’ve made the promise too many times to count, but I’m going to put in more effort towards being consistent.

I’ve written about everything and every body here, whether or not I explicitly wrote their names, or embedded it subtly in a post. Maybe it was a poem or short write up, something. I’ve talked about basically everything that means something to me.

This is my baby, and I’m so attached to this blog and I love it so much. Happy birthday once again my beautiful blog. ❤

Hi there!

My name is Ru, or Oyinda. I’ve been reading for as long as I can remember, and my love for books has only grown stronger over the years. There’s something so special about getting lost in a story and then sharing those thoughts with others. On this blog, you’ll find book reviews, honest (and sometimes rambling!) bookish thoughts, recommendations across different genres, and many more for fellow book lovers. Whether you’re searching for your next read or just want to chat about books, you’re in the right place.
